EXOCOATTM SH
Superhydrophobic Sol-Gel System
General Information:
EXOCOATTM SH is a sol-gel-based sphere technology. It can be used to produce superhydrophobic coatings with extreme water exclusion properties.
Description and Application:
EXOCOATTM SH is a unique 1K superhydrophobic sol-gel system that when formulated in water can be applied on mineral substrates as concrete, pavement, wall and stucco to get the so-called Lotus Effect. This effect is exemplified by a nearly invisible coating that has extreme repellence to water and aqueous solutions. With the contact angle of 140° water droplets bounce back from the surface and will roll down immediately upon touch. As a result, the wall remains dry, clean and will behave as efficient barrier against water. It will not form a film and as a result the substrate stays breathable.
